Maybe someone should make a few comments about Dick's personal appearance. Start with the black fingernails and work your way down the body.

"You must have missed Dick caling Eric a "MF" repeatedly the other night. And Dick is nothing like Howard Stern. That comparison has no basis." Again, that is not an uncommon epithet (yes, crude, but not uncommon) I don't see the comparison to the "Drano" and sodomizing comments that Dick made to Jen.

Since there is so much talk about Dick being an abuser, where is the proof? Every other season The Smoking Gun ferrets out info on houseguests. Seems if what half of people say about him is true, there would be written proof of arrests, lawsuits, whatever. I haven't seen a thing.

No question. From Day 1, it's obvious he has trouble relating to women.

The more that I think about the comments and my daughter asking me about it, I have come to this decision. If he was talking about my daughter that way he better move very far away and find a hole in the ground. Since he is not talking about my daughter then I really do not know about him. I guess it comes down if that person being talked about is your own love one. BTW - My daughter is in her twenties too.

He'd never talk that way in my presence.

Lots and Lots and lots of abusers are never arrested. Sad but true.

MF is a severe, crude comment. If I called you one, you wouldn't feed me dinner and ask for a hug.

"Lots and Lots and lots of abusers are never arrested." I'll go out on a limb and say most of them are never arrested.

Wood I think you are right. Usually women are afraid to call the police and children can't fight for themselves.

What I was saying if you think he has this pattern, knowing Dick it is NOT hidden in his outside life. He was a bartender, involved in all sorts of things. Why has no one found any proof to back their claims? People are notorious for finding out info on hgs.

That information may be forthcoming Milos, I don't know. I do know that even if he has had no incidents reported beforehand his actions toward Kail and Jen indicate there is a flash point there.

I think we just explained it. He's the same in the game as he is in Diary sessions. If you think he's a Super-duper keen nice guy outside the show, you'd need to be the one to supply proof. I am guessing that most people want nothing to do with him in real life. We do know that his daughter avoided him for years.

As for Dick, the best person to ask if he abuses his kids are his grown kids. At their age that they are in right now they would easily blame their parents for everything. Since I have two children around that age I can tell you they will do that. They also know everything. **Now backing out of room**

He has a heck of a lot of friends on his myspace who post nice comments. Must be faking.

"Since there is so much talk about Dick being an abuser, where is the proof?" I have witnessed his abusive behavior. Dick has referred to his own abusive behavior as "verbal abuse". Daniele has told other HG that he was "abusive" to her. Julie Chen refers to Dick's behavior as "abusive". Dick has threatened Jen with violent sexual acts. Dick escalated his verbal abuse to a physical confrontation. Dick's actions have exposed a pattern of abuse. The fact that no documents have surfaced that proves Dick has been arrested for his abusive behavior doesn't prove he isn't abusive, either. I grew up with two abusive parents and neither of them have ever been arrested for their abusive (and often violent) behavior. My bet is that many people posting here have witnessed abuse committed by someone that was never arrested for it.

I don't know that he ever abused his children. I guess my point being that < in the context of the game > he seems to hate women. My viewpoint here. That is why I am posting under the........... Dicks's Dislike < hatred?> for women

Sans indeed. That is my point exactly. My father abused my mother and it strikes a chord. Maybe that is why lots of us see abusive traits in him is because we recognize it for what it is.

Ok, I just don't like to see someone slandered without proof. It has happened so many times before. I don't know if you read his son's posts or not, but he has never even hinted at such a thing. And like someone said if anyone knows him, it would be the kids. Yes Dani said he abused her. Maybe verbally, I don't think physically at all like Dustin suggested. Or maybe it was Eric. But would a 20 year old who had been so abused in the past go on national tv with her Dad? Maybe in a world I don't live in.

Violating another person by dumping tea on them can be called abuse, in my opinion. You wouldn't do it to me, and I know I'd never do it to you.

I can't speak about the things he has done outside the house. I can only judge him from his actions in the house. And well you know, walks like a duck, looks like a duck, sounds like a duck........

Then why hasn't the petition worked? Why hasn't the California police been called? Jen herself, was in a perfect position to say its me or him. She didn't and now they are friendly. Quite strange. She doesn't even want to win the money, based on her giving up $250K.

Exactly, Joyfuld. Why is Dick the only one that is assumed to be different outside the house? How do we know Jameka isn't really an atheist and Kail isn't really a lesbian? It seems that Dick is the only one that is assumed to be different outside the house than he is inside the house. Everyone other HG is taken at face value. Maybe Amber is really not a crier outside the house and never has done drugs. Hey, if her behavior IN the house is assumed to be what's she like in real life, why isn't Dick's behavior IN the house seen as similarly representative of the "real" Dick?
